Tomorrow in Zion the blue journey begins after a promising two -year period with the new CT.: “The girls are ready to play the most games in one who await us”
An extra thread of adrenaline is there (and you try to dilute it), because the importance of the first game in such tournaments is a known topic. Also for Andrea Soncin, on his debut in a great competition in his coaching career, after the glories of the Nations League. But the European is another thing and the blue coach knows it, aware that his Italy has a little healthy pressure on him precisely because the results of his two -year period authorize to fix the quarterfinals as a minimum goal. That’s why tomorrow in Sion, against Belgium (6 pm on Rai 2), one cannot be wrong. Without thinking about a revenge, because too much water passed since the bridges have passed since the Belghe eliminated us from the disastrous English European of 2022. “Many things have changed – Punctualized Elena Linari, which was present in Manchester -, compared to three years ago we grew up us and everything we have around, we look forward”.
EMOTIONS

In any case, that precedent does not belong to Soncin. “At 24 hours from the game, the emotional aspect takes over – the analysis of the CT in the official press conference, at the Stade de Tourbillon -, but we worked on every detail, we know Belgium well and the girls are ready to interpret the most games in one that await us by managing the moments in the field at best. It is magnificent to work with them, in the approach to this debut I think it was also important to manage the moments, to understand when it was the case of tension “. As per practice, no nod to the formation and the game system chosen for an Italy that has a clear identity, but also knows how to change skin adapting to opponents and conjunctures.
Stopping points

“I clearly have ideas but I take all the time to evaluate them until the last – he explains, before finishing -, in the preparation we also added new tactical situations and the choices will follow the logic of those who enter this European with the desire to play many games”. The feeling is that the doubts are however few for three quarters of the defense (of Guglielmo, Linari and Salvai) and in the middle of the field (Caruso, Giugliano and Severini played all the last ones), many more the possible combinations in attack where “the American” singer is essential and it is difficult to do without Bonansea, with the choice of the first tip that will depend on the offensive design in the mind of the CT. “We also know Belgium well because several players are in Serie A – he concluded – it is a team that defends in one way and attacks in another, they grant but then they are very skilled in the transitions”. Eyes on Tessa Wullaert, pungent to Inter’s center forward arrived in double figure in the first year in Italy (his partner in the Nerazzurri the midfielder Detruyer), while Philtjens, Mission and Dhont have seen them with Sassuolo.
